weird ? and dnf at 70% too much for me to handle

second read, march 2024
five stars ! favorite of all time
- writing process, lack of imagination (flawed Drafts/Darlings, difficulty to separate one bunny to the other, plagiarism...)
- commentary on the ridiculous pretensions at an “elite” art school, saying complex things but without any meaning or sense
- feels like a dream but at some point Samantha can say things that we can rely on so it's even more confusing
- the character of Samantha navigate between loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, fantastic and the terrible power of the imagination (her need to be part of a group/friendship, her emotional attachment to Ava, her questioning the reality...)
